Schneegass Doubles Through Lakhov
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksandr Lakhov opened to 2,500 from early position and action then made it to Jörg Schneegass on the button who went into the tank. After a few moments he announced he was all in for about 24,000.
Lakhov mulled over his options and eventually landed on a call and the cards hit their backs with Schneegass all in and at risk.
Jörg Schneegass: 5♦5♠
Aleksandr Lakhov: A♦J♦
The full board ran out 2♠Q♥2♣K♦8♠ and with just a pair of fives Schneegass earned the pure double to reenergize his stack as the middle levels of the day begin.
